Abstract
Effective tissue remodelling is essential to the survival of adult organs. Many of the signalling pathways that control these cellular decisions are regulated by nuclear interactions of cell-cycle proteins. Molecules that target cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) or CDK inhibitors (CKIs) represent a new class of therapeutic agents that influence tissue remodelling in several organ systems. An understanding of their cell-specific functions is leading to the development of exciting and bold approaches to the treatment cancer, cardiovascular disease and other diseases.Entities:
